Sorry to hear that was a nice man  RIP bob

if its the same guy, used to stand at Warwick,Stratford and Cov dogs back in late 70s and 80s, always very pleasant and to my memory always had a smile on his face ( probably cos my old man was filling his hod ). I was just a nipper then but he made an impression. Condolences for your loss whether or not it was the man I recall.

Very sorry to hear that mate, your dad was one of the best old school bookies and a worthy adversary in the modern era. Condolences to you and your family.

Thank you for the kind words. Dad was 71 and never spent a day in hospital in his life which is why it was such a shock. He came out with us to Newbury a couple of weeks ago. Yes, he was the bookie who used to stand at Warwick and Stratford and Coventry and Leicester dogs, and yes he always had a smile on his face. That was how he was all the time.

Condolences wasnot, a tough time.

My best wishes to you wasnot and family at this sad time.

Sorry to learn of your loss wasnot, as already been said your dad was a good old school bookie.

As many have said a very good and respectable gentleman.
Condolences to you and all the family.
